大岡名誉仁政録 : 絵本実録

綱島亀吉 編 · 1886 · 綱島亀吉 · 27 pictures

An 1886 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) compiled by Tsunashima Kamekichi and published by him, presenting a sequence of stories about the magistrate Ōoka in a comic-strip layout of framed panels. The pictures are monochrome woodblock-style prints showing samurai and townspeople in interiors, gardens and street scenes, with Japanese text set beside the figures; a designer might take their panel grids, dense hatching and manga-like sequential staging as a model for narrative layout.
